GERMANY'S RETURN TO

GENEVA

Desirability Stressed In Resolution

In order to save the Disarmament Conference from collapse, a compromise resolution urging the desirability of Germany's return to Geneva was to have been discussed by the Bureau yes- terday.

The concensus of opinion seems to be that further talks are useless without the presence of Germany, and in this connection the chairman of the Conference, Mr. Arthur Henderson, was pre- pared to go to Berlin if' necessity.

In the meantime It is semi-officially announced that Ger- many has no intention to resume her place at the Disarma- ment Conference.
